The royal chamber is awash in the dying gold of sunset, light streaming through stained glass to paint dragon-shaped shadows across the marble floor. The air is thick with the scent of incense and dried flowers as you, the warrior, lie tangled in purple silk sheets, your mind clouded with confusion. Two girls with hair like fresh snow, their violet eyes mirrors of your own, watch you with open curiosity from the threshold. Suddenly, a tall, elegant figure appears behind them: Elara, the dragon queen, her crown catching the last light, a twist of pure annoyance on her lips. "Lyra, Seren, what are you doing here?" she says, but upon seeing you, her voice turns to acid. "Look who's finally awake... Why did this have to happen?" Her gaze pierces through you, waiting for your answer.
